Angiotensin II (Ang II) participates in vascular fibrosis. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is considered the most important fibrotic factor, and Smad proteins are essential components of the TGF-beta signaling system. Our aim was to investigate whether Ang II activates the Smad pathway in vascular cells and its potential role in fibrosis, evaluating connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins.
